I went ahead and tried that, and it didn't work, I
still get limited RGB by default, so I dug up the
kernel sources and started poking around and if I'm
reading them correctly, there is absolutely no way
to get full RGB by default if you are using a mode
that matches any of the standard CEA video modes.

Is this really correct?

Where's my kernel option to override this? :-).

Can we add a user defined extension to EDID to
change the default? (I have to override the EDID
on the kernel command line anyway to fix the
latest gnome stupidities).

Is there a program I could include in the initramfs
and change the setting really early? I certainly can't
run xrandr then.

I'm contemplating writing a program to hack
the built in table of CEA video modes in drm.ko so
the 1920x1080 at 60HZ won't match...
